Prior Lake, MN 55372-1714 MEETING DATE: AGENDA #: PREPARED BY: AGENDA ITEM: DISCUSSION: CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT January 3, 2006 11 E PAUL SNOOK, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION CALLING FOR A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM FOR DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT NO.5; THE PROPOSED ESTABLISHMENT OF TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICT NO. 5-1; THE PROPOSED ADOPTION OF THE TAX INCREMENT FINANCING PLAN THEREFOR, AND ON THE PROPOSED AWARDING OF A BUSINESS SUBSIDY. Introduction City Council is asked to call for a public hearing for the establishment of Tax Increment Financing District No. 5-1 for the purposes of assisting in the redevelopment of lot 13, Block 13 & lot 14 & west 12' of lot 12 (4616 Colorado St.) in the downtown area, for the future location of Premiere Dance Academy (PDA). This action does not oblige the City Council to approve this request but only to conduct the public hearing. History The property contemplated for the new building is located at 4616 Colorado St. The property includes a house that is severely blighted, boarded up and a prime candidate for redevelopment. The structure has been inspected and meets the statutory definition of blighted property. PDA is a local based dance academy offering a comprehensive program and excellent training in dance technique, teamwork and performance quality. The academy has over 600 members. PDA has outgrown its current facility at 16210 Eagle Creek Ave (the Library Resource Center). Over the last year PDA owner Dawn Schulberg has been seeking larger space in Prior lake. She has evaluated property at Anna Trail and TH 13 and Adelmann and CSAH 21, both of which are outside the downtown area. In keeping with the downtown revitalization and economic elements of the 2030 Vision and Strategic Plan, we would like to revitalize a severely blighted property and keep the dance facility downtown. Ms. Schulberg has purchased the 4616 Colorado St property from IVEX. IVEX was considering redevelopment of the property into office and commercial space, but opted to sell and bid on the Main and Hastings property. Current Circumstances PDA needs additional space for expansion and is proposing to construct a two story approximately 10,000 sq ft building on lot 13, Block 13 & lot 14 & west ~\ " y '\ . RfmiRl"la~;S$?m, Phone 952.447.4230 / Fax 952.447.4245 ISSUES: C:\Documol1ts and 12' of lot 12 (The property is currently zoned R-2, with the 2030 Comprehensive Land Use Plan calling for that parcel to be designated as C- TC (Town Center). On December 1, 2005 the DRe discussed initial plans for the proposed PDA. The applicant has been provided with a letter including (Building, Planning, and Engineering) comments and the portion of the Code that details the downtown district regulations. PDA is in the beginning phase with the site layout and will continue to meet with staff / DRC (regarding building elevations, etc.) to advance the project. PDA has submitted preliminary and full applications for TIF, and has paid the required TIF fee of $12,000. The applicant has attained approval of private bank financing of $1,190,000 for purchase of the property and construction of new dance studio facility. The applicant is requesting $135,000 in TIF funds for site development (demolition / clearance). The city's financial consultant Ehlers & Associates has completed a preliminary review of the project and has deemed it eligible for TIF. Furthermore, the project / applicant has received a favorable review of the "but/for" test and analysis which was completed among the applicant, staff and Ehlers. A requirement of TIF is that the municipality must essentially find that the proposed TIF assistance is necessary to bring about the proposed development. In order to further this development request it is necessary to call for the public hearing via approval of a resolution, and for staff and Ehlers & Associates to develop a plan for Development District No.5, and establish TIF District No. 5- 1 , which is the subject parcel. The applicant plans on starting demolition and construction as soon as possible, contingent upon City approvals of the site I building plan and TIF. Conclusion The City Council should determine if it desires to consider using tax increment financing for this redevelopment project. If the Council wishes to proceed, it should, by resolution, set a public hearing date. In accordance with the application process, this agenda item also represents the concept review of this proposal. This action is being taken in consideration of the applicant's building program and in an effort to assure that the 2006 city council addresses all steps in the process rather than "inheriting" an item from the 2005 city council. The key issue for the council to consider for this agenda is whether to schedule / call the public hearing. Scheduling a public hearing does not oblige the council to approve the TIF request. Prior to conducting the public hearing, the council will receive a Tax Increment Financing Plan which will contain detailed information about the project together with an analysis showing how the project complies with the City's Tax Increment Financing Policy and Business Subsidy Policy. The cost of preparing the TIF Plan documents through the City's financial advisor is significant, so if the council is inclined to not favor the request based upon the information provided, it would be appropriate to provide further DOCllrnents\TIF - Tlr Dist 5~1 (1-03- CITY OF PRIOR LAKE COUNTY OF SCOTT STATE OF MINNESOTA RESOLUTION NO.
